iKON Draw Excitment With Reveal Of Tracks For Debut Half-Album

The anticipation continues to build as iKON, YG Entertainment's promising new boy band, entices fans with teasers for their debut half-album, "Welcome Back." Over the course of a couple days, the group released a full track listing for their first album as a charismatic seven-member group. It is the first official album project from the winners of last year's survival show "Mix & Match."

The track listing highlights two title tracks, "Rhythm TA" and "Airplane," so the chances of receiving two more music videos from the group are high! Both iKON's most well-known members, B.I and Bobby, were involved in developing the lyrics for each of the six tracks on the debut project. The members continue to stake their claim as solid writers within YG Family, as they received notoriety after working on labelmates WINNER's debut single "Empty."

Producer favorites Choice37 and Kush grace the rookies with tracks, and B.I adds his name to the list as a composer for his group's debut as well. Also, Atlanta-based multi-platinum singer/songwriter duo The Jackie Boyz help close out the half-album with "M.U.P."

The half-album's release online is scheduled for October 1 with physical albums available October 5. With band members heavily involved and various producers and writers in the mix, iKON's debut half-album sounds like it will be an overall smash!

The group's first full album, with all 12 tracks, is scheduled to drop November 2.

On September 9, SEVENTEEN released their latest comeback track "Mansae" on their official YouTube channel.

Unlike debut track "Adore U," their comeback music video showcases the members' acting abilities as they each try to earn the affections of a girl. The video includes scenes in all sorts of school settings including classrooms, a gymnasium, a basketball court, the rooftop, and locker filled hallways. In each various scene the members of SEVENTEEN try to win their girl over with their playful and adorable antics.

The song continues with the underlying athletic theme of the music video by incorporating different whistle and blow horn sounds into the instrumental. Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN continues to prove their powerful vocal abilities with equally strong singing and rapping parts. While "Adore U" showcased the group in a more uniform pop sound, "Mansae" allows the individual members to shine during each verse while coming together seamlessly for the addictive chorus.

SEVENTEEN debuted in May 2015 with "Adore U" after four years of preparation. After two weeks the rookie group earned 1 million views on their debut music video and have been gaining in popularity ever since.

They are most known for their title as "self-producing idols" as the members play an active role in the production of their songs and the choreographing of their dances.

With an addictive beat, adorable video, and powerful dance, "Mansae" is a track not to miss.
